Question 1

My little one is 2 years and 2 months old, and I'm thinking about starting Junior Horlicks Stage 1. I'm unsure what the right age is since I noticed that both the Stage 1 and Stage 2 packs mention not giving it to children under 2 years old, but there's no more detailed age info. Could you help me with when might be a good time to start?

Accepted Answer

no problem you can take

Question 2

My child threw up four times after having lunch. I think the food might've been a bit too spicy. I gave him 2.5 ml of Emset. He's sleeping now, but should I wake him up to give him some fluids?

Accepted Answer

yes you should wake your child ,feed the child with plenty of fluids and plain rice with curd

Question 3

I'm really worried about my 15-year-old daughter. Can I give her Dolo 650 for her fever or menstrual pain? I'm just concerned if that's too high of a dosage for her. Would love your advice!

Accepted Answer

Missed Fetal Heartbeat at 11 Weeks

_Possible Causes_

1. _Miscarriage_: Unfortunately, the absence of a fetal heartbeat can indicate a miscarriage.
2. _Fetal demise_: The fetus may have stopped developing, leading to the loss of the heartbeat.

_Chances of Revival_

1. _Unlikely_: Once the fetal heartbeat is lost, it is unlikely to revive.
2. _Confirmatory tests_: Your wife's doctor may recommend additional tests, such as:
    - Ultrasound to confirm the absence of fetal heartbeat
    - Blood tests to check for hormonal changes

_Next Steps_

1. _Seek a second opinion_: Consult a specialist, such as a maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) specialist or a high-risk obstetrician, for a second opinion.
2. _Support and counseling_: It's essential to provide emotional support and counseling to your wife during this challenging time.
3. _Follow-up care_: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your wife's doctor to discuss further management and potential next steps.

I'm really worried about my 3-year-old who has a fever of 101. His weight is around 12 kg, and I have Calpol syrup 250 mg at home. Can you let me know how much I should be giving him to help bring the fever down? Is this the right dosage for his age and weight?

For a 3-year-old child weighing 12kg with a 101F fever, the recommended dosage of Calpol 250mg syrup is 5-7.5ml (1.25-1.875mgkg) every 4-6 hours, not exceeding 4 doses in 24 hours;
